A WordPress plugin which allows you to create templates for your asides posts. Instantly.

== Description ==

AsideShop is a WordPress plugin which allows you to show aside posts on your blog's front page in a different way without theme template modification.

Features:

* No need to edit and modify theme templates - use your own.
* Easily create small templates within WordPress Administration Panel to display posts differently on the front page.
* Templates can contain dozens of pre-defined tags to use for posts and comments (e.g. `%posts_title%`, `%comments_count%`, etc.).
* Assign templates to categories which contain aside posts.
* Testing mode lets you preview the changes on the front page before the world sees it.
* No extra data is added to categories or posts - AsideShop minds its own settings.
* Upon AsideShop deactivation, all your posts are displayed as regular posts. Non-destructively.
* Works fine with text filters (Markdown, Textiler), caching plugins (WP\_Cache, WP\_Super\_Cache) and other plugins, as long as post text is formatted using standard filter tools.

AsideShop is primarily intended to use with aside posts but you can use it to have posts parsed differently on the front page according to the categories the posts are placed in.

== Installation ==

= How to Install =

1. Download the plugin archive and extract the files it contains.
2. Upload extracted `asideshop/` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory of your blog.
3. Activate the AsideShop plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress Administration Panel.
4. Look for AsideShop submenu under Options menu in WordPress Administration Panel.

= How to Configure =

1. Create a posts category (in WordPress Administration Panel under **Manage** > **Categories**) which will contain your aside posts, e.g. `Asides` if you don't have one already.
2. Go to AsideShop settings page (look under **Settings** (WordPress 2.5) or **Options** (older versions)).
3. Click on **Add Template** button and create a template for you aside posts. All the tags available for use will be displayed under the text input box.
4. Click on **Save Changes** (WordPress 2.5) or **Update AsideShop Options** (older versions) button to save the template.
5. Select the category that contains (or will contain) aside posts and assign the template you just created.
6. Select **Enable AsideShop for testing** option and check whether your blog's front page looks alright. Your aside posts will be displayed inline with another posts.
7. If the front page seems to work fine, select **Enable AsideShop** option. That's it.

= Translation = 

If you wish to translate AsideShop, use `asideshop.pot` file which is included in the download. E-mail me at `miro [at] apollo [dot] lv` and I will include your translation in future releases.

= Known Issues =

* If AsideShop plugin is enabled, logged in user won't see *Edit This Post* link as there is no such tag to use in templates.

* If AsideShop plugin is enabled, templates created in WordPress Administration Panel have higher priority than those create in theme templates (using `is_aside()` function).

* If text filter plugins are used (Textile, Markdown, etc), WordPress wraps the text in paragraph tags (`<p>..</p>`) while parsing. Therefore if you use `%post_content_filtered%` tag in AsideShop templates, the text will also be wrapped in paragraph tags.

* If a post is placed in several categories and at least one category of these is selected as containing aside posts, the post will be displayed as an aside post according to the template which is assigned to the first category (in alphabetical order).

* If you split aside post with `<!--more-->` tag, only the part before `<!--more-->` is displayed with `%post_content%` and `%post_content_filtered%` tags.
